The National Monuments Service's description
Not marked on OS 1836 or 1876 eds. Raised circular area (int. dims. c. 25m N-S; 23.4m E-W) enclosed by a low drystone wall (Wth 3.6m). Original entrance not recognisable. On the OS 1911 ed. a field boundary is shown skirting the site from NE-E-SE. This has been removed. However, there is a semicircular enclosure projecting from the cashel wall between these points. The structure of its enclosing wall is similar to that of the cashel.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
